  2. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  3. Group of rational points on the unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_rational_points...

    Let G 2 denote the subgroup of G generated by the point 0 + 1i. G 2 is a cyclic subgroup of order 4. For a prime p of form 4k + 1, let G p denote the subgroup of elements with denominator p n where n is a non-negative integer. G p is an infinite cyclic group, and the point (a 2b 2)/p + (2ab/p)i is a generator of G p.

    Transformation of coordinates (a,b) when shifting the reflection angle in increments of When the direction of a Euclidean vector is represented by an angle θ , {\displaystyle \theta ,} this is the angle determined by the free vector (starting at the origin) and the positive x {\displaystyle x} -unit vector.

  5. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  6. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    This geometric argument relies on definitions of arc length and area, which act as assumptions, so it is rather a condition imposed in construction of trigonometric functions than a provable property. [2] For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin ...

    The number e (e = 2.71828...), also known as Euler's number, which occurs widely in mathematical analysis The number i , the imaginary unit such that i 2 = − 1 {\displaystyle i^{2}=-1} The equation is often given in the form of an expression set equal to zero, which is common practice in several areas of mathematics.

    is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)

  9. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is transitive if, for all elements a, b, c in X, whenever R relates a to b and b to c, then R also relates a to c. Every partial order and every equivalence relation is transitive. For example, less than and equality among real numbers are both transitive: If a < b and b < c then a < c; and if x ...
